Break my chains

Chapter 12

I wake up and Pane isn't there. Poltian doesn't have me running today. Neither is he talking. He takes me to the control room but demands Pane to stay outside. This makes me have a uncomfortable feeling. "The Antiniums sent a message just for you.", Poltian finally says. In one of the flat screen computers, Jayces image comes up in full color. "Hello, Helen. Just here state one thing. You will marry me and refusal is war. Choose wisely. And the screen goes off. "My queen. You have to agree. Antinium is very powerful.", Poltian says. But I don't listen. I don't know what is happening. "No.", I shake my head and turn my eyes to Poltian. "I'm not into him. And I am not going to be forced to marry someone I have no heart for. No, we are strong. Last time I checked we have all this technology. Tell him that. I declare war.", I turn around with a black mood on my face. I feel my eyes turn very dark, almost similar to black which expresses my madness. I walk out, but when I do, Pane notices my expression. And it comes to my mind. What will Pane say? Yesterday was official and I don't want to ruin that. And I'm bad at keeping secrets and you can find out quick enough what's going on around me. "Take me somewhere, private.", I say. He takes me to another wide living space like room and closes the door and takes me to the balcony, where could the whole city and have fresh air. "What is it?", Pane searches for my eyes, my real eyes that are hidden under a curtain. "Jayce stated for me to marry him. I refused, now it's war.", every word came out choked. This time I looked into his eyes. His were full of concern. "I've always hated him. Since the day I was born.", he says. "Why?", I ask. "He's my cousin. He betrayed us. Never came back, never left a letter. Him and his sister.", he says. Now I'm amazed. "He even killed his father.", he says. I hug and pull him close. He hugs and kisses me, nearly lifting off the pavement. The kiss lingers but then we realize we are outside. He pulls away and clears his throat. I laugh.

Poltian, now has me running again. Calling in guards and trying to create as much androids and battle ships as we can. It almost seems like star wars to admit. Pane trains me more often. Be now. I can send an android out of power. Many other brave men are training to volunteer. But I have hope that we will win. "Do you think we will win?", I ask Pane. He lays across me, as I trace my fingers over every curve of his face. "With you around, no chance we will lose.", he leans in and kisses me hard. He wraps his hands around me warning me up on his chest. I'm out of breath and my heart goes out of control. Its like having a quite heart attack. I pull away and breath. "Is it that hard not to breath?", he asks. I nod. I feel my eyes get bright.he lays there and stares into my eyes. He thinks mine are beautiful, but he is entirely. "Do you know what a tattoo is?", I ask. He nods. "Where can I get one?", I ask. I see his eyes widen a bit. "Um. Is there any reason you want a tattoo?", I shrug. "I don't know. I just want one. Do you have one?", I ask and raise my eyebrows. He sighs and nods. "No way.", I smile. "Where?", I ask. "C'mon. Lets get your tattoo.", he says, ignoring my question. We go outside into a car. The driver takes us past that giant building and stops at one of those tubes. I walk out and look down into the tube. "You scared.", he ask. "N-No.", I stutter. He holds out his hands. "Ladies first.", I grimace at him. I inhale and hold my breath. Then I drop as the force takes me down. I land on my feet and pulled forward for the other person to come next. It looks like a weird salon in here. Hair being done, costumes being made, face cover being put on. Pane comes behind and steers me toward a slide open door. Inside is a dim room with whole bunch of designs on the walls. No touch space. A woman cleans, what looks like, a giant flashlight. There is a metal chair placed in the middle. The woman looks back. "Well look who it is. The queen and Pane.", her eyes study us both. "Hey,Tally. Um, Helen here wants to get a tattoo.", he says. "Pick what you want.", she says. I look around the room. Then, something catches my eye. Curvy lines that spill and make a beautiful design. "Can I get this on my back?", I point at the design. She lowers the seat and gestures it to me. I lay on my stomach and light hits my skin through the giant flash light.

I expected it to be sore. But it actually feels my skin. Tally shows me on the screen what it looks like. It actually looks good. Pane keeps his eyes on me the whole time. Finally, we get to the vehicle and he still has his eyes on me. "What?", I ask. He shrugs. "You just beautiful.", I smirk and role my eyes. He takes my hand and doesn't let go until we are there
